Once again Rye is proving to be a favourite location for film makers, and the TV series, 'The Crown' is coming to town later this month.
The producers have now advised that an advance crew will be arriving on Thursday, January 17 and from then until Monday, January 21 will be turning the clock back and recreating part of the High Street as the way it might have appeared in the 1970s. This will include the library where both exterior and interior shots will take place and access, therefore, may well be limited, or not available, at times
The actual filming will take place on the Tuesday, 22 January, followed by two more days sending Rye 'Back to the Future' and restoring the road to its 21st century appearance.
There will inevitably be significant disruption to shops, pedestrians and traffic over this period but as Ryers in general have always enjoyed watching film makers ply their craft, and although no Matt Damon or George Clooney on this occasion, there will doubtless still be plenty of entertainment to be had watching the filming on Tuesday to make up for the disturbance on other days.
Get ready to welcome the 'Royals'!
